    Their case numbers are just sounding fishier and fishier

    You know there's a thought scarier than the Chinese Government whisking away sick people in the middle of the night...

    ....and that's the citizens themselves doing it

    Or a combination of both. Bring your sick to the regional bat virus tent, then keep your mouth shut so you don't lose your job or disappear

    And on that IMF data, 2018, Argentina was listed as having $66 billion in total reserves, then I read a Financial Times article late 2019 that they were down to 10 billion. They don't have enough money to pay their population during a lockdown, let alone bail out their airlines, then later their banks

    With the caveat that this is tin foils hat stuff.

    The Closing of 21 Million Cell Phone Accounts in China May Suggest a High CCP Virus Death Toll

    I'm really loving the lack of late night talk shows and sports and traffic on the roadways and the airport really liking that..

    Just make sure you wash your hands before they stick you in a body bag...

    And 6 days ago 300 deaths was the total. 5 days ago was first day it went over 100 deaths a day.

    Rate of growth is the scary part here, not the number.

    No it's been here as long as the virus was there in China so that is a long long time ago..
    we can pretend that it didn't escape from there until March let's look at air traffic let's look at other models like I showed with the videos from fort Lauderdale it's the same maybe not as severe but for certain it's been here longer than realized.

    I had to laugh my ass off at this dude in the dispensary with the dust masks on.
    So I watch him with his rubber gloves handling money and then take the mask a few times and readjust it and I'm like dude you know you're completely defeating the purpose of that mask right..
    Everytime you retouch your face are you retouch your mask with them gloves on your retransmitting the virus to your face.
    if you just left the mask off you wouldn't be touching your face as many times as you do.
    I really think I scared the shit out of this kid..
    those rubber gloves aren't helping you unless you're going to like the supermarket and then putting your hands on the shopping cart and etc etc.
    Just wash your damn hands and stay out of cough mist is that damn simple..

    18,363 new cases 398 new deaths in the US, and that should be the end of reporting today

    Hopefully from now on I don't have to prefix it with the phrase "relatively speaking", but you are doing pretty good on the mortality rate

    If I start to sound too clinical from now on, it's because I never thought various regions of the world were going to contain this thing

    Even Italy and Spain, those new deaths per day are linear. But you have to worry more about those two countries collapsing now

    Go USA!

    I got all I need to avoid social interaction this weekend. Finally, an excuse to do nothing.
